And my main question to you is, I actually agree with you.

I don't think video games or movies should be blamed for violence.

I watch a lot of action movies.

I wouldn't blame what happens in them for real.

What I would blame, though, Uwe, and I wonder whether you agree or disagree, is the way your film is being used by the political right in the US.

When Elon Musk retweets someone saying, this is the moderate response, do you believe, Uwe, that it is a moderate response to murder a family?

You used to say Trump was a liar.

I mean, your politics... Well, let him answer the question, Mehdi.

So let me just, I need to deal with something that Uwe said, and you've touched on it, and you tried to interpret my head shake.

I don't accept that Uwe or this movie is speaking for the people of Europe.

Like I said, the very title itself just showing Europe, nondescript Europe.

You didn't even pick a country because none of these countries match the kind of propaganda out of the American right.

And Uwe said something very revealing a moment ago.

He said, you know, he has to make, he has to go where the audiences are.

And I think that's what he's done with this film.

And he's found Elon Musk, and he's found this MAGA crowd that love this stuff that's bullshit.

You want to make a film about a rape cover-up, make it in the US about Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.

Uwe himself used to be super anti-Trump.

He was attacking Trump and Trump voters and Fox just a few years ago.

He was calling Fox a fascist channel.
